Pardon My Dust

Pardon my dust,

Excuse the mess

We're makin' something new out of all of this

I'm sayin' my prayers

And I'm tryin' to change

So give me some time

'Cause I'm still findin' my way

Why are you lookin' at me this way

Pointing your finger, shakin' your head

How 'bout some love along the way instead?

Pardon my dust

Excuse this mess

I've left a trail of debris, so you've gotta be

Very careful where you step

I've made some mistakes (so what)

Done quite a few things wrong

But could you roll up your tidy sleeves

And help a brother along

Why are you lookin' at me that way

Pointing your finger, shakin' your head

How 'bout some love along the way instead?

Pardon my dust

Excuse the mess

Please don't be another judge

For me to try to impress

Stop calling me names

Stop casting your stones

Let the Good Lord sort this all out

When we all get home, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Pardon my dust

Excuse my mess

And help me believe, there's gonna be

Something beautiful on the other side of this!

Have patience with me

I'm still sweepin' floors

So pardon my dust

And I'll pardon yours
